A Positive Step

What to do if your kid is gay?
Accept them, or love them? No way!
For now, in the west
the children are blessed:
You can't make the gay go away.

In an amazing development, the State of California has become the first in the nation to ban "conversion therapy" for homosexual minors. This means that all of the "pray the gay away" groups will not be allowed to abuse children by making them feel that who they love is wrong, forcing them to change who they are.

Some parents will, no doubt, still berate and belittle their children, abusing them psychologically or even disowning them, sending children out into the streets. But at least the so-called "professionals" will not be allowed to inflict their hatred onto children.

72 Years Is Not Enough Time For Love

The fires of love they fanned.
They weathered the small and grand.
Through good times and strife
they both shared one life
and they go out hand in hand.

A couple, married for 72 years, died in the hospital, holding each other's hand. From the article:

"It was really strange, they were holding hands, and dad stopped breathing but I couldn't figure out what was going on because the heart monitor was still going," said Dennis Yeager. "But we were like, he isn't breathing. How does he still have a heart beat? The nurse checked and said that's because they were holding hands and it's going through them. Her heart was beating through him and picking it up."

Pardon me. I have something in my eye.
